The children's request didn't sit well with Èṣù. Those two
didn't need to be taken care of. That wouldn't make them strong.
On the other hand, it would be fun to play this little charade
for a while. He decided against it though. It was much better to
teach a man to fish, than to give him one. "I'm sorry little
ones, but I don't have a place to take you. As I told you, I'm a
wanderer myself. Seeking knowledge, for Power without knowledge
will always lead to demise. Never forget that." He looked off in
the distance, toward the supposed destination of the traveling
couple, before looking back once more at the young twins. "I
have a better idea." He said with a smile. "How about I teach
the two of you a bit of magic? That way you'll be better able to
take care of your selves. He wasn't particularly worried about
the two being cold. After all, even at night it remained about
75 degrees outside in that region of the world. But he did want
the two to be able to protect themselves. In their prior life
the two perished before reaching 13 years of age. Unable to
settle their vast differences, they parted ways, but neither was
strong enough to survive alone.
"Travel with us until we reach the next Village. I'll teach you
how to make sure you always have food, and a few other useful
tricks." His glute muscles instictively tensened when Oya
pinched him. It was a reflex. For most men, the first instinct
would be to return the favor, but the Trickster God always
thought a few steps ahead. He liked to get people's minds
working, moreso than gain any sort of gratuity for himself. "Now
now, Aaoiri. Let's not start anything we can't finish in front
of the children, eh?" In that moment, Èṣù pictured the
possibilities that could have occured if he HAD decided to take
the children back, and have a "sleepover" at Oya's place. That
would have been an interesting scenario indeed. But it wouldn't
have been good for her. Adding confusion to loneliness could end
up producing very bad results. He watched as Abana quickly
approached Oya and smiled. It seemed she had taken a liking to
her. "That's fine." He told her. "I'll just teach Ajala some
really cool stuff while the girls are off doing other things. He
grinned as they began walking. It was a few hours to the next
village, so there was plenty of time to enjoy each other's
company.

the twins looked at one another then at Dakarai "We would love
to travel with you" Abana said and ajala nodded. Abana tugged on
oya's skirt "Follow me" She whispered and then ran down a hill
she stummbled a bit but at the very end of the hill abana shows
oya her doll it was made out of twigs and grass "This is sara my
dolly.. have you ever had a dolly?" She said with a smile as she
awaited her answer.
Ajala sighed as his sister ran off with Dakarai's wife "I know
how to do a little bit of magic but.. nobody has ever taught me
before its always came natural to me" he was kinda saddened by
not being able to stay with them but they have always been on
there own. ajala remembered all the times he had asked that
question and it was always the same answer. "I have a
question... have you ever had a memory that wasnt yours?" ajala
said tilting his head

Enyo stumbled into the realm and fell to her knees. The strength
she once knew was now gone, leaving her completely when she
exited from Greece. It took every ounce of fortitude she had
left to keep her eyes open, but that did not last very long. In
a matter of seconds, she passed out in the middle of a path.

Oya noticed the look in E u's eyes as he countered her gesture
with a verbal warning. It matched his words thus proving he was
not afraid to back it up but she was not interested in what he
could accomplish but rather what he thought she wanted him to.
Without a word, the goddess turned and followed the child
through the land until they reached the spot where Abana's dolly
was. Nodding, Oya examined the toy with her gaze before she
crossed her arms to gain comfort and looked back at the small
goddess.
"A very long time ago," she said. "Sara is a lovely name, child.
How did you come up with it?"

Abana smiled up at her "Its silly but i put my parents names
together and got Sara" she put the dolly in her hands and smiled
brightly "I want you to have this, i want you to remember me
because we wont be together for long" Abana looked over at the
lake and wished she could go swimming

"Sleep Child" The words of Olorun made it's travels to the ear
of the fallen goddess Enyo. He watch over her as a small purse
of lightning recharge her body . She would not be harm as long
as Olorun's eye was upon her. There must have been some debating
in her realm for the goddess to return here . No question would
be ask at the time of her rest .
When she finally awake the goddess would wake up in the bed Esu
use to sleep in . Esu wasn't really home these days , Olorun
seem to have but his son through a lot of work, it was one of
the things he would have to fix in his return from his realm of
inner peace. Olorun trusted Esu with everything , and maybe
even one day take over when Olorun felt his time was up . The
supreme god had plans for all his child when the time came but
till them he would keep that to his self.
He hope the Goddess slept without repeated images of what happen
in her realm . Until her awaking Olorun kept his eye on her from
afar .

Words, whispered to her and her alone, aroused Enyo from her
slumber. Compared to each of the millions of nights prior, she
did not suffer from any dreams. This was further proof that she
had lost all of her godly powers, except for her immortality. It
was frightening, yet reassuring all the same. Now, she could
forge her own path, without out fear of punishment.
A stream did not sit far from her, and Enyo felt in desperate
need of a bath. But, what she beheld brought a gasp to her lips.
No longer did her eyes shine with gold, replaced by a brown that
was dull by comparison. Her aura was gone as well, except for a
tiny flicker here and there. To others, who did not know her,
she would appear like any other mortal woman; but to those who
did, she would appear alien and unwelcome.
"What have I done?" Enyo questioned herself as she stared into
the shallow waters.

"You have chosen freedom " Olorun appear on the surface of the
shallow water , the god stood there with both arms firmly across
his muscular torso . .The Ebony god appear as a hologram . The
goddess look mortal but the realm she enter human and god look
just a like . We didn't like to stand out from the human face ,
well Olorun and Esu didn't Oya was a different story and Shango
wasn't to far from it either.
"You said you seek peace but instead you try to find love ,but
it seems like peace had found you . You might not have your
godly abilities they will come back in time . until then why not
sight see for a while , it will do the mind and body some good
to get some fresh air in your system. Ask yourself this while
you think What do you need , then write it down ,then ask what
you want ,and separate the two .When separated you can see more
clearly what you need to do first before you go for what you
want .
Olorun didn't want the same think to happen twice , peace had
found her , not in the way she wanted it to but it found her .
she could be free to choose . Now the question is what would she
do with it , accept it or deny it

The former goddess listened to Olorun, her expression softening
drastically; to the point that a smile formed upon my lips. He
had shown Enyo nothing but kindness, and he continued that
treatment even now. In Greece, she would have been berated and
abused, leaving her spirit broken. "Thank you, Olorun, for the
kindness you have extended towards me."
When the god's image faded, she stripped of her robes and waded
into the cool waters. A soothing bath was what she needed, and
this she would achieve here. "I can be whomever I choose to be,"
she whispered to herself, before sinking beneath the surface.
She did not see any images of war or death, nor the carnage that
came from the aftermath. All was serene and peaceful, down to
the depths of Enyo's soul.

Èṣù grinned as Abana ran off with "Aamori." She had
probably never had a female companion to confide in before. He
imagined it was an exciting time for her. But Ajala speemed be
be the more responsible of the two. His main concern was taking
care of his sister, and making sure she was safe and provided
for, which probably made him seem more like a supporter than a
playmate. He listened to the boy as he explained his affinity
for magic. "How about I teach you to make sure you always have
food?" He asked. It was a simple spell, that even an extremely
talented human could perform, given enough years of practice.
The boy would probably pick it up in moments.
"Place your hand in the soil" he instructed. He did so himself,
placing each of his five fingertips against the dark, rich soil
beneath them. "Let your energy seep into the ground and bring it
into fertility." That was step one. "After that, imagine the
food that you want to grow. It can be apples, tomatoes, or
anything else that grows out of the ground. Finally, you take
the energy that you've deposited into the ground, and extract
it. With it will come the treat that you imagined. "He
demonstrated, pulling from the ground a bundle of grapes, that
he then took to rinse off in the river. "Now you try it."
He kept a careful eye on the girls, ensuring they didn't wander
off too far. Ajala would not pay attention to his lesson if he
felt his sister could be in danger, and Èṣù wasn't a fan
of repeat lessons. In fact, rarely did he ever teach anyone
anything directly. This was a treat indeed.
